A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1064

Jess's stubborn attitude impressed Liana, who couldn't help but marvel.

"Jess, you might not know this, but after you completed the autopsy, I had Hadley conduct another examination, and his report differs from yours."

Jess's body tensed up, and he turned incredulously towards Liana, who stood with her arms crossed against the wall.

"You sent Hadley to do another autopsy?"

Without even blinking, Liana nodded in confirmation.

"I suspected there might be an issue with the patient's blood vessels, so I sent him to check again. It turns out, there really was a problem with the blood vessels."

Upon hearing "blood vessels," Jess immediately grew anxious.

"If you already found a problem with the blood vessels, why didn't you come to me right away? And why didn't you use Hadley's report to refute those accusations from the students?"

Liana lifted her chin and lightly gestured towards Yeager on the ground.

"It wasn't the right time to reveal it back then."

This puzzled Yeager, wondering what Liana meant.

Liana took a step forward, kneeling down in front of Yeager.

"At that time, you were still with Hailey, and out of respect for her, Mr. Laurence and I naturally didn't take action. But now... now it's time."

After saying this, Liana stood up and faced Jess.

"You should know Mr. Laurence's personality – he only gives one chance. Whether you admit it or not, it's up to you."

Jess couldn't be sure if Liana's words were true or not, and he felt flustered. He turned to Yeager.

"Dr. Yeager, didn't you tell me that you were the only one who knew about the issue with the blood vessels? How did Liana find out?"

Yeager was also perplexed. He looked at Liana and then at Bernard.

"Did you all... know everything from the very beginning?" Jess questioned with disbelief.

"Of course," Liana replied calmly, although in reality, she knew nothing. She had only made deductions based on Will's major vascular repair surgery, suspecting there might be an issue with the blood vessels, and used that as leverage against Jess. She had no idea that Yeager had actually concealed the patient's condition from Will.

Yeager was taken aback to learn that Bernard and Liana had already discovered the problem, or rather, that Bernard had noticed it but refrained from taking action or warning him until after Hailey broke up with him.

A deep and meaningful light flashed in Bernard's eyes.

He straightened his body and stepped closer to Yeager. With his imposing figure, Yeager instinctively blinked.

Bernard raised his slender fingers and grasped Yeager's chin, forcing him to look up.

"Dr. Yeager, you might not know this, but in A City, I truly can do as I please."

The towering action, disdainful tone, and oppressive gaze made Yeager feel anger rising within him.

Who gave the Laurence family the right to be so superior just because they were born into privilege? Why should they have no regard for him?

"I don't care what you want to do, but I won't admit it."

"Very well," Bernard nodded. He let go of Yeager's chin and turned to face Jess, who stood there in bewilderment.

"What about you?"

With the pressure now on Jess, he was at a loss for what to do.
